Suspended Trinamool Congress (TMC) Member of Parliament (MP) Kunal Ghosh was admitted to a hospital in Kolkata today after an alleged suicide attempt.
A suicide note and sleeping pills were also recovered from his cell.
"Kunal Ghosh has access to two-three pills as his regular prescription. He said he took pills at 2:30am. At 2:33am he went walking to SSKM hospital, not in a stretcher," Prison Minister HA safi told ANI.

Ghosh was arrested last year in connection with the Sarada Chit Fund scam.
Last Monday, he had threatened to commit suicide when he was produced before the special CBI court probing the scam demanding immediate arrest of those who were involved in the scam.
